Ducks Ltd Share New Single “Sheets of Grey”
Ducks Ltd released their debut LP, Modern Fiction in 2021 via Royal Mountain Records/Carpark Records. The album received many well deserved accolades. Today, they have shared “Sheets of Grey,” lead singer and guitarist, Tom McGreevy writes about one of his dearest topics; the liminal space between the inertia of depression. “Sheets of Grey” is not all bleak, though, as the band attempts to scrape together a small silver lining while the darkness is closing in. Ducks Ltd will be on tour this spring with Nation of Language and have re-scheduled their UK dates for the fall.
Tom McGreevy on “Sheets Of Grey:”
“This song is actually one of the oldest in our catalog. We wrote it around the same time as “Get Bleak,” or maybe a little bit after, and played it live a bunch, but never quite finished it. We kept poking at it for a long time until we finally got it to where we wanted it to be, which happened during the Modern Fiction sessions. We ended up leaving it off the record as it didn’t quite thematically fit with the other songs, but I’m excited we’re finally getting to put it out as I’ve always liked it. It’s about the inertia of depression, and how hard it can be to break out of those cycles, but also about the pleasure of embracing that state. There is a certain, temporary comfort to be found in the abyss! Somewhere right before it inevitably becomes extremely awful.”
